  In 2020, the existence of the entire human race was threatened by this little tiny thing called coronavirus. Interestingly, this thing is just one out of the diverse family of viruses which are just less than 200 nanometers (nm) in diameter. What is more fascinating is that we arguably cannot even classify this thing as a living thing or be regarded as being alive. They are obligate intracellular parasites i.e. they require infecting a host in order to carry out basic life activities like replication or metabolic processes to generate energy for themselves. Aside this, they are just typical crystal compounds outside any biological host and can be said to be the bridge between living and non-living things. The structure of a virus is very simple. It typically consist of a protein capsid head that houses genetic materials (DNA or RNA) and a tail. However, the question on the origin of viruses or where they come from is an interesting topic in biology because it gives us a better perspe

Amidst all the hullabaloo happening in Nigeria with every system failing and sector breaking down, it seem as though antibiotics are also not left out. Have you used an antibiotic drug recently to treat an infection and discovered that it's ineffective? Or been told at the hospital that there are no effective antibiotic drug to treat your infection? Well, this results from one of the most disturbing problem in medical sciences; antibiotic resistance. Infectious diseases are major cause of morbidity and death in Nigeria and they are caused by tiny little creatures called microbes. These microbes are killed using antibiotic drugs but unfortunately, they have been able to resist the effect of these drugs. So how can we combat this problem? Here's a research review of mine on "Machine Learning: An approach to Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance Problem in Nigeria". I looked into how we can harness the current advancement in technology - artificial intelligence - to solve
